Proposed Statutory Instrument on Copyright: Statements
7:00 pm
Martin Ferris (Kerry North-West Limerick, Sinn Fein)
Does the Minister of State agree that this order can be used by companies to secure the sort of site injunctions which the European Court itself has ruled unlawful? Does it not also open opportunities for large corporations to close down sites through injunctions against smaller, weaker companies that would not find themselves in a position to defend themselves because of the costs involved? Does it not open that can of worms in regard to the large corporations?
